Abstract
Two children with severe bowel sequelae distal to the site of an Ascaris lumbricoides bowel obstruction are reported. It is postulated that these resulted from inflammatory reaction to toxic decomposition products of disintegrating worms. Surgery should be modified in the presence of bowel-wall injury distal to the site of ascarid worm - bolus obstruction.Entities:
